What do you think they promised that wasn’t delivered that would’ve made this anything that a phone app couldn’t do better? Fundamentally, talking to things sucks, but phones support that anyway. The gimmicky interface is worse than just a touch screen. You have to wear the fucking thing which makes it useless if I’m in bed or whatever. The AI was shit but could just as easily be integrated into an app. It was a shit product from design to execution. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] natecox@programming.dev 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 8 months ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] UnsavoryMollusk@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago The thing is, even if the device was doing what they said it would do... It could be an app. In fact it makes more sense. No double network subscription, no need for expensive hardware on top of the one you already carry, expanded acess to the user's data, better hardware in some case (camera for example), more efficient, more integration with other tools (from basic stuff like a calendar to gps etc), and so on. If AI was a juice the humane pin would be it's juicero. permalink fedilink source parent
